    im probably dumb, can anyone help to explain how layoffs ‘boost’ productivity? she said it’s a simple equation, take out a bunch of hours worked and you get a higher productivity. does that not mean that the output stays similar prior to the layoffs? doesn’t that mean that something else is causing us to be more productive other than layoffs?

      In short, if it was costing $2 to make every $4 and now it’s costing them $1 for every $4. That’s a creasing productivity in their eyes.

      The quiet part is that they’re willing to spin $20 to make every $4 in the hopes that eventually it will only cost them $1.( and that’s AI)
